Letter To The Editor: Persons Of Honesty And Integrity Still Exist In The Virgin Islands

Dear Editor,

I write this letter to commend the Officers at the Virgin Islands Police Department stationed on St. John. In January 2013, on a visit to St. John, I lost a pouch filled with jewelry and other important documents like my passport, social security cards for my kids and myself. I retraced my steps looking all over and never found it. Eventually, I chalked it up to a loss.

To my utmost surprise and extreme pleasure, this past weekend 2 ½ years later, while visiting St. John, Officer Marilyn Leware, heard my name and informed me that they had a red pouch for me. We walked to the station where she retrieved it. Every item was inside!!!! I was so excited that I neglected to ask how they got it. But I thank the person who found it and the officers for securing it for me. I can’t stop singing their praises and felt compelled to share this story with our community as it indicates that persons of honesty and integrity still exist in the Virgin Islands.
